[Intro]
D G D G D
On a warm summer's eve
[Verse 1]
G D
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
A7
We were both too tired to sleep
D
So we took turns astarin'
Out the window at the darkness
G D
The boredom overtook us,
A7 D
And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
G D
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
A7
By the way they held their eyes
D
So if you don't mind me sayin'
I can see you're out of aces
G D
For a taste of your whiskey
A7 D
I'll give you some advice"
[Verse 2]
D
So I handed him my bottle
G D
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
A7
And asked me for a light
D
And the night got deathly quiet
G D
And his faced lost all expression
G D
Said "If you're gonna play the game, boy
A7 D
You gotta learn to play it right
[Chorus]
D
You've got know when to hold 'em
G D
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
A7
And know when to run
D G D
You never count your money
G D
When you're sittin' at the table
G D
There'll be time enough for countin'
A7 D
When the dealin's done
[Verse 3]
D#
Every gambler knows
G# D#
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
A#7
And knowin' what to keep
D#
'Cause every hand's a winner
G# D#
And every hand's a loser
G# D# A#7
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
D#
And when he finished speakin'
G# D#
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
A#7
Faded off to sleep
D#
And somewhere in the darkness
G# D#
The gambler he broke even
G# D#
But in his final words
A#7
I found an ace that I could keep
[Chorus]
D#
You've got know when to hold 'em
G# D#
Know when to fold 'em
G# D#
Know when to walk away
A#7
And know when to run
D# G# D#
You never count your money
G# D#
When you're sittin' at the table
D# G# D# A#7 D#
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done
[Outro]
D#
You've got know when to hold 'em
G# D#
Know when to fold 'em
G# D#
Know when to walk away
A#7
And know when to run
D# G# D#
You never count your money
G# D#
When you're sittin' at the table
D# G# D# A#7 D#
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done
D#
You've got know when to hold 'em
G# D#
Know when to fold 'em
G# D#
Know when to walk away
A#7
And know when to run
D# G# D#
You never count your money
G# D#
When you're sittin' at the table
D# G# D# A#7 D#
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done
